# Async Python Patterns Comprehensive guidance for implementing asynchronous Python applications using asyncio, concurrent programming patterns, and async/await for building high-performance, non-blocking systems. ## Use this skill when - Building async web APIs (FastAPI, aiohttp, Sanic) - Implementing concurrent I/O operations (database, file, network) - Creating web scrapers with concurrent requests - Developing real-time applications (WebSocket servers, chat systems) - Processing multiple independent tasks simultaneously - Building microservices with async communication - Optimizing I/O-bound workloads - Implementing async background tasks and queues ## Do not use this skill when - The workload is CPU-bound with minimal I/O. - A simple synchronous script is sufficient. - The runtime environment cannot support asyncio/event loop usage. ## Instructions - Clarify workload characteristics (I/O vs CPU), targets, and runtime constraints. - Pick concurrency patterns (tasks, gather, queues, pools) with cancellation rules. - Add timeouts, backpressure, and structured error handling. - Include testing and debugging guidance for async code paths. - If detailed examples are required, open `

What does the async-python-patterns skill do?
Comprehensive guidance for implementing asynchronous Python applications using asyncio, concurrent programming patterns, and async/await for building high-performance, non-blocking systems.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill async-python-patterns --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
